From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

"Found a high-quality target! The axial angle is 15 degrees and the normal angle is 12 degrees! The distance is 8,000 kilometers! The relative speed is 80 kilometers per second and continues to rise!"

"Radar waves detected. Cancellation operation is in progress, not good! Our position is still exposed!"

"Warning! A strong electric field reaction has been detected! It is judged to be a heavy particle cannon attack. Oh my god, the opponent has opened fire!"

"The entire fleet, the deflection field is activated, prepare to endure"

In the communication loop of the federal navy's logistics squadron, before the squadron commander had finished speaking, hundreds of blue-white beams of light produced by heavy particle cannons were bombarded in the direction of the logistics squadron.

These jets of heavy metal particles accelerated to one percent of the speed of light swept through the entire logistics squadron in about 3 seconds. The logistics ships in low-power concealment standby state were directly hit before they could even activate the deflection field. Hit the hull.

Although non-combat ships such as transport and supply ships, combat preposition ships and maintenance ships will follow the fleet during combat operations, under normal circumstances they will not stay on the front line after entering a battle, but will be hidden behind the scenes. A hidden location is relatively safe.

In addition, whether it is storage of supplies, equipment maintenance components, or various logistics equipment, most of the space inside the ship is occupied. Therefore, in addition to some terminal air defense weapon groups, this type of ship also carries several aircraft for driving away The pirate will not be equipped with any other weapons besides the HCP.

The same is true in terms of protection. The external main armor is completely incomparable to that of a serious warship, and the power of the deflection field generator is relatively low. Although it still has a certain degree of strength when facing civilian armed merchant ships or ordinary pirates. ', but when encountering a serious warship, it is simply a target.

Especially now, after being rushed 8,000 kilometers away by a fast squadron.

"The hit rate of the first wave of salvoes was 88.5%. The results of the rapid damage assessment are as follows - 23 ships were directly sunk, 42 ​​ships were severely damaged, and 42 ships were moderately damaged."

The voice of the shipboard controller sounded on the bridge of the "Poseidon" squadron's temporary flagship "Hussar" light cruiser. After hearing the result, the commander of the squadron also felt excited.

After all, the ships in this squadron are all inexperienced 'rookies'. Being able to sneak under the enemy's nose and successfully fire the first salvo is already a good answer.

But the commander also knew that achieving this step was not enough. He had listened to Amber's public address just now, so he naturally knew how important this battle was at the moment.

Although the hit rate of the first round of attacks was very high and a large number of enemy logistics ships were sunk and damaged, compared to the logistics squadron of the three federal main fleets gathered together, this could at most determine the outcome of the attack. Just one finger.

At the same time, the tactical information coordination officer loudly reported a new situation:

"Commander, the opponent is casting a large amount of interference smoke and chaff clouds, and the target lock is blocked!"

Thinking of this, the commander of the 'Poseidon' squadron, just as Amber said in his previous speech, abandoned the only luck and hesitation in his heart and loudly ordered:

"Attention to the entire fleet, make visual corrections through the optical unit! We must completely defeat this logistics squadron no matter what, all HCPs get on the deck and prepare to join forces!"

The commander of the 'Poseidon' squadron was not a 'professional' before, he was just a ship boss who had been running the transport fleet for many years. He only started to be exposed to space fleet warfare after joining the Atlas Group and transferring to the combat fleet. detailed subjects.

It was at this time that the concepts of space battle formations and firepower distribution began to be instilled in his mind, but obviously this time was still too short, so the commander's fighting style was still relatively rough, to put it in layman's terms. It is said to be a 'mad dog biting battle'.

But at this moment, no one will judge the quality of tactics. Those who can achieve the set goals are good tactics!

Soon, a large number of HCPs rushed into space through the ejection trajectories of these warships of the 'Poseidon' Squadron, and more HCPs who stepped onto the outer deck of the warships in advance also obtained an extremely high acceleration through one-time rocket boosters. .

Like a swarm of bees leaving the nest, nearly four hundred HCPs rushed through the tactical shield released by the logistics squadron, rushing straight towards the latter, and the last obstacle in front of them, except for these logistics ships, was Apart from the barren anti-air firepower, there were only a few guard HCPs left.

Even though the HCPs on Atlas's side are all novices, with the absolute numerical advantage, this battle will inevitably begin to tilt toward a 'turkey hunting contest'——

"No, how did the other party know the location of the logistics squadron? In preparation for war, these logistics ships are all in a low-power concealment state, and the interior of the 'Pillar of All Beings' has interfered with various detection methods. It is impossible under normal circumstances. Discovered!"

On the Fearless, Admiral Carroll, who saw this scene, said in surprise that the logistics squadron had been stolen. This was something he had never seen since he joined the army.

In other words, not only Admiral Carroll and other senior officers on the bridge, but even Marshal Trafalgar had never been caught by anyone in previous battles, let alone his own logistics fleet. Pass the opponent's logistics fleet.

Because no matter which side it is, hiding the logistics squadron in a secret and safe location before the war is already considered a basic operation. Although some commanders may develop some of their own layout habits, the universe's The three-dimensional space is really too big, and trying to find a hidden logistics squadron is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So for the first time, Marshal Trafalgar was in a situation where he didn't know how to answer Admiral Carroll's question, but he also knew that the answer to this question was not the focus.

"Maybe the other party is lucky enough and the blind cat met a dead mouse, or maybe there is a spy among us, but in any case, this issue is not the focus now."

"Marshal, so what should we do now? Do we need to let the Third Fleet go for rescue?"

Admiral Carroll turned to look at Marshal Trafalgar. As the only person present with a higher military rank and seniority than him, Marshal Trafalgar became the only person he could turn to for help.

Trafalgar shook his head: "Idiot! What's the use of letting the Third Fleet pass by at this time?! Isn't this a refueling tactic? And at this distance, if the Third Fleet completes the course adjustment and then accelerates to arrive, then Daylily It’s all cold!”

"Marshal! If we are defeated by the enemy like this, what will happen in the next battle? This is the logistics squadron of three fleets. In addition to supplies, there are also tens of thousands of lives."

Admiral Carroll is still a little unable to make up his mind. After all, the size of the logistics squadron is not small. If it is really annihilated by the Atlas squadron, then the continuous combat time of the three fleets of the Federal Navy will be longer. Nearly two-thirds were directly deducted.

"But it has become a fact that we are too late to carry out rescue, Carol." Marshal Trafalgar said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the other party's lone army can only rely on this one hand. They defeated our army. Now we have no time to drag it out, and there are only two choices before us, either to retreat before the end of the combat maintenance time, or to fight the opponent to the end."

After hearing this, Admiral Carroll had basically guessed the Admiral's answer.

"I, Federal Admiral Trafalgar. In this situation, there is only one choice!"

The old marshal stood up from the command seat and said loudly like an old lion about to launch the final blow:

"The entire army obeys the order! Continue to pursue the enemy in front of you, and the power units of each ship are running at super power! The goal of this battle is to completely annihilate this enemy at all costs!"

After speaking, Trafalgar glanced at Admiral Carroll next to him again, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"I would even sacrifice my soul for this."

——

On the other side, Amber, who was leading the HCP troops to launch an assault, also received a report from Ramos.

"Boss, the federal navy fleet has accelerated its pursuit. It seems that they do not intend to rescue the logistics squadron, but are determined to eliminate us."

"It's normal, but any fleet commander who can weigh the gains and losses will make this decision."

Amber continued to say while sharing the attack path he set with the HCP attack force and the heavy armored combat craft that caught up:

"The location of the logistics squadron was originally not intended to be involved in the battle, so it was deliberately set up far away from the fighting area. Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no danger, but if something goes wrong, the combat fleet wants to come back and rescue it. It's definitely too late.

An experienced fleet commander who is eager to win the final victory will choose to continue attacking the enemy fleet that has been further weakened at this time, rather than rescue the logistics squadron that has lost hope."

"But the size of this federal logistics squadron is not small. Don't they even plan to rescue the survivors?" Ramos' tone was a little heavy. It was obvious that the young commander had not gotten used to it yet. In a large-scale fleet battle, it is easy to abandon or sacrifice tens of thousands of people.

"So this is a fleet battle. In addition to those epic battles that seem to outsiders, there are more cruel multiple-choice questions."

Amber paused, then continued calmly:

"Just like I sent out the Poseidon squadron, I certainly know what the worst outcome is, but my luck is slightly better. For this multiple-choice question, it seems that I chose the right one. Ramos!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Seize this opportunity. Since the other party has no intention of rescuing, it is only a matter of time before the federal navy's logistics squadron is destroyed. Let 'Poseidon' solve the battle as quickly as possible. In this way, we can forcibly separate a mobile force in our hands." Now, it’s up to you to decide whether to flank the federal fleet or launch a coordinated attack from another direction!”

"Yes, Boss!"

While talking to Ramos, Amber also led an attack force composed of a large number of HCPs and heavy armored combat boats into the calculated attack trajectory. Everyone looked along a frame locked by the cockpit HUD. You can also see the 'morning glory' blooming in the universe.

"Lilith, how are the preparations for the electronic warfare virus attack?"

"Master, the opponent's protection is very tight and all external communication channels have been closed. I suspect that the attack just now was an attack launched by a satellite cannon based on the pre-war information."

"That is to say, the other party has already considered that it may be attacked by electronic warfare, but this level of tactical weapons is not surprising. It is not surprising to achieve such protection."

Amber nodded and once again led the formation to speed up the advance. At this moment, a large number of heavy armored combat boats also passed the HCP force, and divided into two teams in front and went around in different directions. As the distance got closer, these battles The boat will also be broken up into more attack groups.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

Since it was unclear what progress the construction of this unfinished satellite gun array had reached, Amber still asked the attacking troops to attack from multiple directions to maximize the possible anti-aircraft firepower.

Soon, after entering a distance of 10,000 kilometers, the air attack on the increasingly larger 'morning glory' in everyone's sight also came as promised.

A large number of high-energy laser beams are constantly flashing, and from time to time they are mixed with the attacks of charged particle beams. These two most commonly used near-light speed weapons by humans are always the first anti-aircraft weapons group to launch attacks.

As the beam continued to sweep, fireballs burst out from time to time in the attack formation - the 'Sacred Shield' that Atlas equipped in large quantities was not a heavy-duty aircraft focused on protection, and in this raid mission, the pilots also Will carry as many offensive weapons as possible instead of carrying two shields.

Therefore, in the face of the irradiation of a large fixed turret-type high-energy laser, when the deflection field cannot work, the 'Sacred Shield' with external armor can only survive for a few seconds.

Blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.

Just as the attacking troops were suffering losses and heading towards the blind spot of the satellite cannon array under fire, Amber saw another warning pop up on the screen all over the sky.

"Warning! High-energy reaction detected! It is determined that we are preparing for the secondary attack of the 'Quiet' satellite cannon array!"

"Why the hell is it so fast? The heat dissipation work on the main body shouldn't be finished yet?!"

Amber was shocked when she saw this warning. After all, even the completely completed Requiem in the previous life will only enter the chain that may cause the collapse of the irradiation component after the structure's health volume drops below 20%. Shooting mode'.

"Ramos, Ceres! Prepare to execute the fleet's emergency evasion!"

Amber reminded him in the communication channel without hesitation, because he knew very well that even if the HCP and heavy armored combat boat units were launching an attack now, the "Quiem" would not target secondary targets like them.

"Lilith! Is there a way to implant the virus?"

"Master, I have found a set of heavy probes attached to the satellite cannon array. Please get closer and I will try to see if I can invade from a distance!"

"No time to try, mark the location first!"

As soon as Amber finished speaking, more than ten target frames were quickly marked on the monitor all over the sky. The distant ones were thousands of kilometers away and the nearest ones were only hundreds of kilometers away.

After quickly looking around the target, Amber quickly completed the spatial perception modeling in her mind. At the same time, the body's weapon control also replaced the ammunition of the electromagnetic machine gun with a special warhead made of a variable metal material.

"Switch to manual fire mode and fire!"

The next moment, the huge super-heavy HCP started to dance like a butterfly. At the same time, the electromagnetic machine gun in the body's hand also fired continuously, firing special warheads at the marked targets.

That is to say, the situation is more critical now. If it were in the past, Amber would have added the dubbing of "Die Die Die" while shooting.

With the help of the psyker's space, psychic perception, and the powerful composite sighting system of 'ATLAS', each round of ammunition accurately flew to the middle of these heavy probes - where the electronic components are. Integrated location.

This incredible operation was called "Super Aiming, Deployed" by the players of "Starry Sky OL" in the previous life. It is an extremely outrageous ability like self-aiming and bullet tracking, but equally, this ability is also It greatly consumed Amber's psychic energy and made him feel dizzy.

Even in the previous life, this kind of high-consumption ability was not commonly used. After all, in most cases, both sides used high-rate, high-power weapons to kill each other every second, or to see whose shield or armor collapsed first. There was little chance. Come and do this kind of flower work

Therefore, the ability of 'super aiming' is mainly useful in some boss battles that require 'part destruction' and require extremely high attack accuracy. Most players will not deliberately practice or use this ability.

Fortunately, Amber has always advocated a truth, that is, ‘the skills are more than the body’~

Although psykers will awaken or naturally acquire and develop some incredible abilities as their own psionic strength increases, the more bizarre the ability is, the more psionic energy is consumed per unit time.

However, after this round of 'hook', Amber's plan was quickly half successful. Under the programmed response, these high-speed flying composite warheads were decelerated by the reverse thrust device mounted on the warhead before hitting the target, and finally ended up with A relatively slow velocity hits these heavy probes.

Lilith, who had already cooperated with Amber in perfect harmony, did not need to be reminded at all. She uploaded the virus at the moment when these deformed warheads began to invade the probe, and sent the packaged virus to the last moment before the main control system of "Requiem" detected that the probe was attacked and automatically disconnected.

"Master! Physical implantation has been completed!"

"Very good, next."

Before Amber finished speaking, a red and bold warning message popped up on the full-circle display again.

"Warning! The energy reaction has reached the critical point! It is judged that "Requiem" has entered the final launch preparation!"
